Religion is any sort of spiritual belief. There are many religions that people believe strongly about. Religions have been the start to many a war in the past and in the present.
Religion can play a part in my business in a couple of ways. One, yoga and acupuncture are derived from some Middle Eastern religions. Second, some people workout like it is a religion and stay more devoted to working out then an actual religion. Last, in the bible it says something to the effect of your body is your temple. This means that your body is a gift from god and that you are to take care of it.
Religion and the way it affects certain disciplines and my business is tricky. Religion won’t affect too many things that will in turn affect my fitness center, but I want my 15 points so here goes...
Religion can affect my business in such ways as the customers that will become members. If I were to fashion my fitness center in a way that shows I strongly believe in the German Third Reich views, and, have certain Third Reich memorabilia on the walls in New York, then I could lose out on the Jewish population, which is substantial. This hypothetical leads me into my next topic, criminal justice. In the same situation, the same Jewish people could take part in vandalism against my business. Rocks through windows, spay painting “that’s not nice!” on the outside of the building, and attempting burn down the building are all possibilities. Such Things may involve police and criminal Justice system. Staying with the same scenario, the history between the Jewish people and Third Reich belief has not been a good one. This in turn would affect my business in the previously stated ways. Certain religions believe that certain languages are the true language. This could cause certain people not learn a more then one language. So, in my case, if the language they know is not English then this would create a communication barrier with such an individual, thus, making it difficult to have a working relationship. Religion is basically Psychology. From birth most people are told that a certain religion is the right one and that everyone else is wrong. If you believe in something so much that you can’t associate with anyone with different beliefs, then this type of person can affect my business. For medical I will say that some people, due to their religions, can’t have surgeries. So maybe if someone doesn’t want to take the chance of falling while working out and break a leg or puncture a lung and then surgery is the only way to fix it. (Not sure where I was going with that.) There are all kinds of beautiful religious art, but, what is beautiful to one person, another could find offensive. So, if I were to hang it in my fitness center people may not want to join. (Basically what I talked about in the beginning). Religion and political science go together like oil and water. If I were to run for mayor of the town my business is in and I have some strange religion then people might think I am crazy and then will stop going to my fitness center.

Here is one crappy right before springbreak blog
Political science is the government and the ways laws and regulations are set. The government could set various laws and regulations that would affect my business. They would set the zoning laws, which would tell me where I could have my business. They also would put fourth the amount of property taxes that I would have to pay. Political Science is tied to the economy in many ways. If there are high taxes levied on the people then spending from the people could be less and the market would not be as lucrative. Criminal justice is related because a lot of what they follow is put in place by the government. Also, the government funds various departments like the police and highway. So if there was less money to the police then there could be more crime towards my business. Well History does play a role in political science but not in the way one would think. The people founded this country, not the Native Americans, put in place certain things to protect the people. The constitution is one such item. This constitution gives people certain rights and freedoms against the government. So the part that history plays is that they don’t follow the constitution anymore and they do what they want (not sure how that plays into my business, but moving on). Language is all the political science consists of. People lobbying for this and that to people that know how to say the right things, which they don’t intend on following, at the right times to be elected. Psychology plays a part in all of this because people are so stuck to believe in one certain party that they don’t see anything wrong with what a republican or democrat says or does. The government decides what medicines can be used in the United States. Marijuana has some medical purposes but the government won’t allow that we use it. (I’m not a hippie and I am not saying it should be legalized). So in my fitness center I could make just about everyone that comes in to the center lean and strong, but, the government won’t let me use steroids

Art is anything man made that is for decoration or show. Of course I am referring to good things like Terry Redlin paintings - not the abstract crap that people think is an expression of emotion or something. When everyone knows you can find the same stuff in any third grade art show.
I don’t think art would affect my business too much. It could really only affect my advertising. Art is very much a business itself, and I guess if I were to tailor my business into a high-end fitness center or have a yoga room, art may be a good way I could spend my company’s money. I think that investing in a Monet for a yoga room would be a good investment, and would help to make the overall environment feel more tranquil. Also, some strategically placed art pieces could improve the atmosphere of the main entrance area of my fitness center. Expensive looking, large paintings would not only serve to make these areas of my fitness center more appealing to customers, but they would also project an image of a high-class, trendy spa. These elements would be appealing to certain clientele, particularly women.
Art could also affect the way that I would protect my business if I had some expensive paintings or sculptures, I would want a more secure security system to guard my center. A lot of paintings become more sought after as time passes. The greatness of an individual artist may grow the longer he/she has completed their work and it is compared to what people have completed since. Hmmm… language, language and art…I’ll pass for now.
Art could change the way people look at my business. If I were to have some shitty little hole-in-the-wall for a fitness center, people would not want to come workout there. And when they did they may be thinking about the physical state of the center rather than their workouts. On the other hand, if I were to have a big, nice, luxurious fitness center, with art, people would look forward to their workouts and get more out of it.
Art influences medicine very importantly, because it can serve as a teaching tool for the patient. Art could help to make people understand medical problems, such as injuries, in a more simple way. A lot of medical terms and problems are very complex, so complex they have their own school for it, and a simple picture or drawing could help people understand and take care of problems better. I can use posters, pamphlets, and handouts in my fitness center with drawings describing certain injuries or conditions that the customer may be able to correct at the gym using specific equipment or exercises.
I’ll pass completely on the Language part – the only thing that I can think of is that art in itself is a language. It is the expression of a thought or emotion. Also, for those who may not speak the same language as my workers or me do, there are certain images that could be used instead of written or spoken words. .
